Had Anatomy lab today. We had to go into the Anatomy Hall again, one which is filled with the smell of Formalin. I quite hate that smell, it makes me nauseous.

Today was slightly different, we get to TOUCH a cadaver and various body parts. Everything felt rubbery.

I guess we have already gotten over seeing whatever there is in the human body. Felt indifferent when I ate chicken rice after that hehe.

Stayed back in school to finish up some stuff, felt quite accomplished haha. Took a train back and I COULDN'T HELP but to think that this man I saw look like one of the cadavers... And I COULDN'T HELP but to imagine further... *Sigh* Study hazard???

I seriously hope and pray that I won't get a nightmare like before... It was too scary I woke up. For someone who sleeps like a LOG, it takes a really scary nightmare to wake me up...

Anyway, today was a real interesting day. We discussed about the controversial topic of "ABORTION" during tutorial.

Did you know that...

- A pregnant woman, REGARDLESS of age, have full rights to make a decision as to what she wants to do with the fetus? That is, If I'm a 14 year-old who is pregnant, I can choose to abort it WITHOUT requiring anyone's consent. All information will be kept CONFIDENTIAL at the end of the day.

- However, if I'm a 20.5 year old and I want to just remove a stubborn MOLE, I'd need my PARENTS' consent. (We only have full rights at the age of 21.)

Do you see the irony here?

In fact, Singapore is way too liberal with our abortion laws. Can check the validity of the above points.

Abortion is a very simple thing to do. Chop chop done. The cost is not a problem too.

It's a highly debatable subject... Which is too much of a hassle to talk about it here... But think about it. :)
